next meeting of the Association would be held in San Francisco. 
The only additional information we have received, up to the time 
of going to press, is in relation to the price of tickets from Omaha, 
as follows; Mempers of the Association will be furnished with a 
ticket from Omaha to San Francisco and return to Omaha for 
$63.50 for the round trip, and there is every probability that ar- 
rangements will be perfected by which members will be passed at 
half fare from various points East to Omaha. The committee will 
undoubtedly issue their circular to members very soon, and we 
trust that there will be a large attendance, as the meeting will be a 
most important one in many ways, while the great concessions on 
the part of the Railroads should induce eastern members to take 
advantage of the opportunity to visit the, in many points, most 
interesting state in our country. 
Tue latest news we have of the Hasler and her corps of scien- 
tists, is from Montevideo, Feb. 24th, at which date, Mr. J. H. 
Blake wrote to us, giving a general account of the expedition to 
that time, but as his remarks are about the same as those already 
published in the newspapers we omit the details. Quite extensive 
collections have been made and several lots already forwarded to 
Cambridge from the various stopping places which, up to date of 
the letter, were St. Thomas (Jan. 15), Santa Cruz, Barbadoes, 
Pernambuco, Rio de Janeiro, and Montevideo (Feb. 24). The 
most successful dredgings were made off the western side of Bar- 
adoes, in ninety fathoms.

deeply felt; and that we tender the family and friends of the de-
